Hi to all, one question :
When I write a text message, and add a smile, the message is automatically converted to MMS.
How can I avoid this?
Is there a solution?
If you use the default Android emoticons it will remain a text message.
If you use the emoticons from Swiftkey or another, those are images and as such cause it to become a media message. That can't be avoided.

Because those aren't the Android smileys. Those are under Options > Insert Smiley. They're not an image in the text field, but are still the actual symbols. They become a smiley in the dialogue.

Ok, i understand.
In fact i tried it after your suggestion: sms with emoticon , don't change to MMS.
You were very kind. Now everything is clear.

Ok guys, I've searched and dont see this question or suggestion so please dont flame me.
Why is it possible to add a smiley from a new MMS message but not with SMS?
I use Smiley SMS but the smiley icons are very small.
Surely it's a registry hack to allow default compose to be MMS form.
Am I being stupid?
I think you're mixing things up.
MMS are MultiMedia Messages, which can contain large text and attachments (images, video, sound, etc).
SMS are text-only, so you can't put images in those. What SmileySMS does is probably the same thing as SMSChat: interprets the sms's you receive and replaces ": )" (for instance) with a smiley image stored in your device.
When you add a smiley to your message and send it, the other guy won't see a smiley, but ": )", unless he views it with your program too.
So, no, you can't registry-hack it to display images
?

Actualy i dont get what your asking but the only simileys you can send via ems but i dont know if windows moblie.
other than that you can send the usual ;-) :-( :-D .
As said already, SMS & MMS are two different types of messages. Only the "smiley" you type goes through as text to the recipient, while SmileySMS recognizes it as an image for you to see.
I understand the differences.
What I was questioning is whether it be possible that the sms compose form be similar to MMS. So if you selected a smiley, it would send "" etc etc
Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones allow you to send SMS messages with animated smileys. It's a shortfall of WM that it doesnt give a better messaging experience.
Thanks for your input guys !!

Yeah, but you'll never really send the smiley, so your will be sent out as : D.
But instead of typing the text equivalent, I'd like to see the smiley and select it, therefore the abbreviation is automatically insterted into message - just as the MMS form does
Surely the Masterchefs can do a hack which can use the MMS form but sends as SMS
I don't know what type of device you have, but if it has a keyboard, then you might try Smilies Input Panel .
Keyboard for text and numbers, and SIP for smilies...
You can even edit it, make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see how..

i understand what u mean, but the MMS portion sends the graphic (i think) it doesnt inerpret ; - ) and change it to
smilieysms is a plugin for sms, which intercepts the text and uses its own display model to replace ; - ) with
so im guessing, no to use MMS editor, as in both instances it will place the graphic in the text body, and also on received messages, display the received graphic, not ; - ) replaced with
phew!

Nope, the MMS just inserts ascii characters into the text portion of the MMS, try it and see for yourself.
no flaming but please ask questions in the QUESTIONS Thread.
Shouldn't there be a contact drop down in the "TO:" line when composing an SMS - I don't see one and I'm accustomed to it being there.
This also takes up the character count in the SMS field, same behavior is exhibbted in all message applications, i.e. outlook, windows live.
It seems that auto suggestion is disabled by XT9 - although turning off XT9 by turning off predictive text in settings does not correct this - thoughts?
This wouldnt help your situation. But i remember composing emails and that dam contact list would come up. It was so hard getting to the actualy subject line because if i would click down it would think im trying to select a contact on the contact list. Im happen it was dropped
When I begin typing a name in this field, I do have a drop down list of contacts...
I am not using T9.
You can still type your contact's name directly from the homescreen, and then select "sms" by rolling the trackball left-right.

i have the same problem.
When composing a new sms or email on my other wm5 ppc, typing the first few characters of a contact's name would call up a list but this just doesn't happen in my htc snap.
anyone have a solution?
Is there anyway to increase this from the delault 160 letters in my sms?
what do you mean?
You can write sms messages as long as you want, they will simply be splitted among more sms's if they are longer than 160chars.
160 characters is the maximum length of the sms protocol...

Why would you write a message in word to then copy it and paste it into the SMS editor??? It sounds like your looking for problems.
Just type the text message in the text message editor. It really is that simple.

Hey Everyone,
The one thing I didn't like with my new HTC Snap was that when I was typing an SMS message (a new message or a reply in a thread), the font size of my typed characters were way too small for me. Even adjusting "View..Font Size" while reading an email message didn't effect my typing font size.
But, by luck I found a setting in the registry that works!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox]
RichEditHostFontSize = 10 (adjust this value to 13 to increase font size).
Note: This also adjusts the fontsize of the recipient names/number in the "TO:" line when composing a new SMS message.
Hope this helps someone...
Thanks for the tip. Will this too adjust the font when reading sms, or shall i say, the received sms?

No, you need to open a regular email message in the phone, then on the menu you will see "View....Text Size" and that option will set the reading text size of emails and sms messages.
Thank you for the quick reply.
I am running C-RoM** -4.4.4- -v7.1. and I'm having a issue with the default SMS app is there not a split option? I am using the FULL MODULAR PACKAGE and whenever I get to 160 characters, it will not let me type any more characters to continue my text, usually it would begin to split the text into multiple messages until I reach a certain amount of characters and it becomes a MMS, so why can't I type more than 160 characters? Thanks! Is everyone else also having this issue? Thanks
This is a copy and paste from another s4 rom..
*Hidden Features from Stock MMS/SMS application (thanks to this INCREDIBLE GUIDE BY jovy23 THANK YOU!!!): XDA THREAD
*No SMStoMMS conversion
*SMS/MMS Custom smileys (No more UGLY Green ones)
*SMS/MMS Show sent time instead of time received
*Save and Restore SMS/MMS to SD Card
*Enabled group messaging
*Unlimited SMS recipients
With the second entry in mind... could this be some kind of 'feature' gone wrong possibly?
